February 13, 2023 will be an important placeholder in the rich and storied history of women’s cricket. That is for sure. Years from now, we could be looking at this day as the one that provided a real springboard for women’s cricket to rise.
It’s auction day for the first-ever time in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) and before they take the field next month, the five teams will battle each other in a bidding hall to acquire the services of the top talents in the women’s game. Smriti Mandhana or Alyssa Healy? Nat Sciver or Marizanne Kapp? Who’ll bag the biggest bid amount? The penny and the hammer drops here.
Welcome to the live blog of the inaugural WPL auction. Strap yourselves in for all the updates…
